Not that the others were bad, of course.

Post by: nopoop on December 26, 2003, 07:46:22 PM: David Gilmore is a God.

Division Bell has some sweet Gilmore acoustic gems.

My overall favorite is Momentary lapse of reason. Gilmore rips some tracks as only he can.

First concert attendence in 1972 for the Echos/Darkside of the Moon tour at the Cow Palace.

Animals, Wish you were here, The Wall, Momentary lapse of reason..

Everyone in the SF area since then, last one the Division Bell tour. "Is there anybody out there" was sureal. My kids went, they were 16 and 12..

Their due :)

I'm ready.

BRING IT.

...I would add if you haven't seen them live.

Make a POINT of doing so. You won't be disappointed..

If they tour again, it'll prolly be the last one.

No cheap seats for the last hurrah for poop's last look. It's been a lifetime of concerts..

For the next and probably last tour, I'll be upfront..

I don't care what it costs..

Bring it.

I still can't beleive the band still calls itself Pink Floyd after Roger Waters left.

Post by: Nilsen on December 27, 2003, 02:52:26 AM: yup, the wall is still great :aok

Post by: Seraphim on December 27, 2003, 03:36:51 AM: I have been listening to Floyd since I can remember.......I'd have to say Dark Side is still my favorite, although I would give Reason a close second. I always find it funny when people say 'waters was pink floyd!!!', um, no actually the band helped write the music, especially Gilmore, who wrote some of the best tracks on The Wall.....Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell, One of my Turns, Hey you......remember who wrote those guitar licks the whole album....
To me, Waters just let stardom get to his head a bit too much, it's too bad they don't have him no more, but I really don't think he was the whole band.....to me, a band is a 'group', hence 'more than one'........Where would Waters be if there was no Pink Floyd?
I also did get to see them on the Division tour, still the best light show I've ever seen in my life; don't think anyone has even come close.

Post by: Seraphim on December 27, 2003, 03:38:41 AM: P.S.
I have The Wall DVD
they remastered & remixed...........
Unreal surround sound - I highly recommend it!!!
Especially when the stuka dive bombs :)

Post by: nopoop on December 27, 2003, 09:46:38 AM: Waters/Gilmore was not Lennon/McCartney. As Waters found out.

The melodic dirges and phrasing that are Pink Floyd are found in Gilmores strat.

Lapse was the coming out party.

There is something rotten....

ARE YOU NUTS!?!?!?!

Go listen to Atom Heart Mother.

If you don't own a CD or (better) an LP - button your pants fast and run to the nearest music shop!

Next please report your feelings here.

Damn. A bloody Russian Imbecilic Commie Bastard (tm) teaches you what to listen.

Syd Barret was Pink Floyd.

All they have done after he left was based on his legacy.

Untill great paranoid albums by Roger, The Wall and, much better, The Final Cut.

Roger is unbelievable. I have met 3 former girlfriends at his concert.

Post by: NUKE on December 27, 2003, 01:28:35 PM: If anyone doesn't understand what Roger Waters was to Pink Floyd, they just need to look at the writing credits on every album from the Dark Side Of The Moon through the Final Cut.

I don't even like Pink Floyd that much, but I feel Roger Waters was the largest part of the band. He wrote every lyric on Dark Side of The Moon and pretty much wrote the entire Wall.

Pink Floyd has put out nothing but garbage since Roger Waters left IMO.

Post by: rpm on December 27, 2003, 01:28:35 PM: I still prefer DSOTM to The Wall. All the hoopla surrounding The Wall when it was released was a bit burdensome. The Wall is still a great album...Yes ALBUM!

Post by: NUKE on December 28, 2003, 12:58:42 PM: Hank sure was a goofy looking guy.

Hank's songs are like poop too.
Title: Pink Floyd The Wall
Post by: Holden McGroin on December 28, 2003, 01:14:00 PM: Hank was in the R&R Hall of Fame before:

Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Drifters, Bob Dylan, The Supremes, The Kinks, Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, Johnny Cash, The Isley Brothers, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Yardbirds, Cream, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Doors, etc etc

Only 16 entries before HW.

Ray Charles and Elvis beat him, but not many others...

Post by: NUKE on December 28, 2003, 01:17:19 PM: Does that goofy guy have any good songs though?

My Bucket's got a Hole in It is painfully bad. I can't stand most of his other garbage either, but that's just me.
Title: Pink Floyd The Wall
Post by: Holden McGroin on December 28, 2003, 01:28:07 PM: Someone with your avatar should know 'Your Cheatin' Heart'...'Tear in my Beer'...'Ramblin Man'...'Lost Highway' and about 1484 others.

All were blessed by the touch of the master.

>edit: you tink he's goofy looking as an adult? You ain't seen nuthin'... you can tell where he gets his blues...
